我认为的一个错误 NO4-8详细真题解析（阅读部分)

NO 8-1 Ragtime 一文It has sometimes been charged that ragtime is mechanical. For instance, Wilfred Mellers comments, “rags were transferred to the pianola roll and, even if not played by a machine, should be played like a machine, with meticulous precision.” However, there is no reason to assume that ragtime is inherently mechanical simply because commercial manufacturers applied a mechanical recording method to ragtime, the only way to record pianos at that date. Ragtime’s is not a mechanical precision, and it is not precision limited to the style of performance. It arises from ragtime’s following a well-defined form and obeying simple rules within that form.


20.   The author rejects the argument that ragtime is a mechanical music because that argument
(A) overlooks the precision required of the ragtime player
(B) does not accurately describe the sound of ragtime pianola music
(C) confuses the means of recording and the essential character of the music
(D) exaggerates the influence of the performance style of professional ragtime players on the reputation of the genre
(E) improperly identifies commercial ragtime music with the subtler classic ragtime style

我以为答案的确应该是C。
作者分析机械的指责时，首先说明了这是一个由于当时商业recording方式导致的一个误区，然后指出precision是的确其一个特点，以排除可能的误解，称Ragtime’s is not a mechanical precision，然后进一步阐述其precision 在于哪里。作者讲误区就是为了讲其precision的特点的。并引出了下文详细地讲formal structure.

Ragtime’s is not a mechanical precision, and it is not precision limited to the style of performance
杨继上说D选项表达的以上这句话的意思 也确实有 the style of performance的对应
而那个录制方式可能是比较次要的原因.
